Hundred Ghosts Journey · Life is like summer flowers

Only dim light penetrated through the partition room. In order not to be discovered by them, Abe Shingon cast a curse on the barrier of Kyoto in the room this morning-he drew a magic circle on the ground with his fingers, and his fingers passed The bright red blood of the ground slowly formed with it.At this time, Hua Piao stood aside and watched silently. For him, the current task has been completed, and what is waiting is for Shuten-douji to bump into Abe Shingon himself.

"Is this enough..." After waiting for Abe's mantra to complete the curse, Hua Piao walked over to him, and said in a questioning tone: "For him as a human being, is this method feasible?"

"Yes, because this is a curse." Abe Shingon stood up at this moment and wiped away the blood on his hands.At this time, his heart was full of ambition and excitement, and he couldn't wait to want Shuten-douji to be bound by this curse soon. "Let me seal you when you change back again, Shuten-douji." Abe Shingon felt that he had reached the point of madness, the curse he cast had no room for it, it was ruthless and absolute, as for Shuten-douji How he didn't know, but for him, that would force him into a point of no return.

Will this 'shuten doji' be completely wiped out.

===A few days later====

"Xia Hua..." Shuten Doji stood on the verandah and looked at her who was reaching out to hold a fluffy white object in the courtyard. After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "This... what is it?"

"White wolf, my shikigami." Xia Hua let go of it at this moment, and the white wolf turned his head to look at Shuten-douji—"Is... a wolf?" Shuten-douji looked at the pair of dark green eyes. Staring at himself, the huge size made him a little unbelievable that there were such beasts in the world.

"Well, it's actually a kind of psychic beast." Xia Hua said while reaching out and stroking its head. The snow-white fur was smooth and soft, emitting a bright white light under the warm sunlight. "..." Shuten Doji was about to say something when he suddenly noticed that Xia Hua was wearing the rosary beads that Chitose Ashiya had given her on her left wrist.Immediately, his whole mind was closed in his heart, and a shadow slowly appeared on his face.

"Xia Hua..." Shuten Doji said softly at this moment: "Kyoto...do you want to go?"

"Why do you want to go to Kyoto?" Xia Hua had no idea what Shuten-douji was thinking, of course she was not surprised by Shuten-douji's question: "What's wrong...?"

"Before... I remember you didn't have that rosary in your hand..." Shuten Doji took a deep breath, trying not to let Xia Hua see that he had overheard their conversation.Naturally, Xia Hua didn't notice, she just raised her left wrist, looked at the string of black rosary beads covering the red totem, and said slowly: "At this time, the rosary beads given to me by Master and the others can shield my evil spirit... ...Although I can go to Kyoto with it, but now...I want to lift the seal of the white wolf and let him be free."

"..." Jiu Tun Douzi opened his eyes wide in surprise when he heard this: "You..." He was surprised by Xia Hua's answer, and a certain kind of joy welled up in his heart.If she didn't go to Kyoto, then she wouldn't abandon herself.

The current Shuten-douji is very simple, so simple that he thinks that if Xia Hua doesn't go to the capital, he will stay by his side.But with Xia Hua's answer, all the previous worries disappeared.

Shuten-douji can no longer accept outsiders except Xia Hua.

"Why do you want to lift the seal?" Jiu Tun-douji hid his inner joy, looked up and saw the white wolf rubbing Xia Hua's hand at this moment, his face suddenly became a little gloomy.

"After all, I'm a monster... I won't be able to use yin and yang in the future." Xia Hua lowered her head at this moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "So if I wear the rosary, I can use it. The white wolf has been with me for so long. I can't let it be restrained by me anymore." As soon as she finished speaking, she put her hand on the white wolf's head and stroked it for a while, and the white wolf sat down beside Xia Hua with his whole body.

"..." Jiu Tun-douji was stunned for a moment, lowering his eyes and feeling guilty for some reason.He didn't know who turned Xia Hua into this, could it be Shuten-douji from the past?

He doesn't know anything about his past, he doesn't even know his name... But he still remembers that fox demon holding a razor and shouting to kill him, Shuten-douji Shuten-douji... …If I was really the Shuten-douji they said, what kind of person was I in the past?

"Aren't you coming?" Xia Hua's voice sounded at this moment, Shuten Doji woke up from his own world instantly, "I..." He stared blankly at her, then at the white wolf beside her At this time, bend your front legs and rest your head on it. "..." Those dark green eyes were looking at him right now, and Shuten-douji had an inexplicable feeling for a moment.Of course he didn't understand what the psychic beast was thinking, and he didn't know why it looked at him...

Thinking of this, Shuten-douji walked down the veranda and slowly walked towards them. He stretched out his hand on the way—he was still very curious about the touch of stroking the white wolf. His curiosity soared.But when he came to Xia Hua's side, Bai Lang's eyes were still fixed on him - was he rejecting himself?

Jiu Tun-douji sat beside Xia Hua, his hands stopped in mid-air and he didn't dare to move.When he almost felt that he should give up, suddenly the white wolf stuck his head under his hand and rubbed it.Instantly, the snow-white fur rubbed against his hands, and Shuten Doji felt unexpectedly comfortable: "...so smooth..." He stared blankly at Xia Hua, letting the white wolf rub his hand there.

"It seems that it likes your appearance very much." Xia Hua also smiled and stretched out her hand to caress the white wolf's back, the smile on her face was so bright.

"Really..." Jiu Tun Doji looked at her, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face: "The white wolf is so good..." Now he stopped hesitating and stroked the white wolf's head until his neck , bursts of laughter.

"But... the white wolf is free, so he can leave me." Xia Hua originally wanted to release the white wolf and let it leave her as a monster.Although she had already realized this, Xia Hua still felt very reluctant, "Or, give it to Ming Dou..." As soon as the words fell, Jiu Tun Tongji was about to refute, but at this moment the white wolf suddenly leaned against Xia Hua. Hua lay down beside her legs, motionless.

"..." Xia Hua and Jiu Tun-douji stared wide-eyed for a long time, at this moment they raised their heads and glanced at each other—"Let it stay, even if there is no relationship between Onmyoji and Shikigami..." Shuten-douji put his hand on the white wolf's head, and said softly, "It's your companion, isn't it?"

"..." Xia Hua was stunned for a moment, she never thought that such words would come from Shuten-douji's mouth - but she quickly told herself in her heart: what was in front of her was only a human being, Shuten-douji, the monster, he is gone.

Shuten-douji in the past would never say such things... If it were him, he would probably do something that would hurt the white wolf, or even destroy the rosary...

Xia Hua took a breath, she was not afraid of him, but afraid of his possessiveness...

"Xia Hua?" Suddenly a hand waved in front of her eyes, Xia Hua turned her head to look at him as if awakened from a dream, "What's wrong?" Jiu Tun-douji didn't know why Xia Hua was so absent-minded , he couldn't help but care after pulling Xia Hua into reality: "Suddenly you don't speak, I thought what's wrong with you..."

"It's nothing..." Xia Hua was stunned for a moment, then poked her cheek with a wry smile, "I suddenly wondered... um..... in the courtyard... should I plant something..."

"Plant...?" Shuten Doji looked at her suspiciously, and looked at the surrounding courtyard where there was nothing but a big tree and a few weeds, "What you said... makes sense ..."

"Hmm..." Xia Hua took a deep breath at this moment, and decided not to think about the past anymore.Now that he appeared in front of her eyes, Xia Hua was already very grateful to God for giving him the opportunity to change him this time—that Shuten-doji who had been alone for thousands of years, Xia Hua decided not to let him return to his original self.

Definitely won't leave him... so... won't leave him alone like that again.

"How about planting some flowers..." Xia Hua put her hands on Bai Lang's back and stroked it for a while, then raised her head to look at him: "What kind of flowers does Kong Ji like?"

"Ask me?..." Jiu Tun-douji pointed to himself, folded his arms in front of his chest and pondered for a long time: "Xia Hua!" With a gentle smile on his lips, he reached out and pulled Xia Hua's arm close to her Kissed her on the cheek—"..." Xia Hua was taken aback for a moment, and she didn't move, and soon her face flushed red: "Don't...don't be joking!" She immediately broke free, touched the quilt Kiss cheeks felt hot there.

And Shuten-douji seemed very satisfied with her reaction, and said with a faint smile: "Then... I will like what you like."

"..." Xia Hua's face became even more red, and Shuten Doji couldn't help laughing: "In that case, wisteria flower?" Xia Hua looked at him, and wanted to shoot him away, but she couldn't help it. But he couldn't do it: "I like that kind of flower." Xia Hua lowered her head and said, still feeling ashamed about what happened just now.

"Yeah." Shuten Doji showed a hearty smile on his face: "Then let's plant wisteria flowers, and we can make flower stands by ourselves."

"..." Xia Hua took a deep breath and told herself to quickly forget what happened just now—"Then..." After finally calming down, Xia Hua raised her head and looked behind Shuten-douji, pointing The place said: "How about... I want to treat it as a small field?"

"Okay. By the way, if the big tree is strong, we can do it..."

The warm rays of the sun fell on the earth, and their laughter and laughter brought a touch of brilliant and bright colors here.But within the enchantment, there is a certain heavy atmosphere in the capital...

——Iori Prefecture——

"Then, are you going to hold the purification ceremony ten days later?" Akito and Chitose Ashiya walked in the courtyard, and Chitose Ashiya knew that Akito was a little nervous about setting the time limit for the ceremony: "Shuten-douji has become a human being. There's something wrong."

"...a ceremony..." Ming Dou took a deep breath at this moment, and he couldn't help but think of what Xia Hua said when Iorihime came to Kyoto—"The so-called purification is nothing to do with setting up a barrier." the difference……"

No matter how much spiritual power there is, it is already the limit to activate such a large-scale power and maintain it for ten or a half years.At that time, I am afraid that the emperor will look for someone with spiritual power among the people to continue the work of Iorihime, and the cycle will continue forever...

"I'm still curious about what kind of woman Iorihime is..." Mingtou looked up at Chitose Ashiya at this moment, and asked in a low voice: "At the sealing tower, the goal of the tengus at that time was to disrupt the order of the ceremony. Do you want to fight against Shuten-douji first?"

"Yes...if it wasn't for Natsuka and Toshi...not just me, even Abe Shingon and they would have died there." Chitose Ashiya recalled the scene at that time, the monsters on both sides came fiercely, and many onmyojis were also there Killed..."I won't let accidents happen again..." Chitose Ashiya clenched his fists tightly at this moment, feeling deep guilt for Xia Hua and Toshi Kusakabe in his heart.

"..." Ming Dou slowly shifted his gaze to the front. For him, he was also very annoyed why he was not there... If he was there, saying anything would stop Shuten-douji from taking Xia Hua away...

"Xia Hua doesn't know what's going on outside the capital now..." Ming Dou was talking to himself at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind them: "Are you talking about Xia Hua?!"

"?!" Ming Dou and Ashiya Chitose were stunned for a moment, turned around at the same time, and saw a noble girl in light-colored Chinese clothes standing behind her—"Iori Hime?" Ming Dou had never seen her before, but When my sight touched her, something suddenly flashed in my mind.

"Xia Hua is back? Where is she?" Yizhi Ji happened to pass by them before, and just in time heard Ming Dou talking about Xia Hua. "Where is Xia Hua? Tell me!" At this time, she seemed to have thrown away the etiquette that a lady should have, and kept asking Ming Dou without introducing herself.At this moment, Mingdou and Ashiya Chitose glanced at each other, and immediately brought Iorihime to the tree.

"Master Iorihime..." Chitose Ashiya hesitated for a long time before saying, "Actually, none of us told about Xia Hua's return, including Shingon Abe and the others..."

"Hey..." Iori Hime was stunned for a moment, and looked at them with wide and clear eyes: "Why... Xia Hua escaped from Shuten-douji's place?"

Only at this time, Ming Dou and Ashiya Chitose looked up at each other, and after a long silence they said: "Xia Hua escaped." It's getting closer, so don't say anything that will affect Iori Hime.

"Escaped? Was she injured? Is she okay?!" Seeing Iorihime caring so much about Natsuka, Ashiya Chitose and Mingtou looked at each other suspiciously at this moment—"Dare to ask... Iori Why is Master Zhi Ji so concerned about Xia Hua's matter?"

"..." As soon as she finished speaking, Iorihime opened her eyes wide and didn't speak, as if she didn't even notice how out of control she was just now: "...Please...please let me see her...Xia Hua, her ...she is my friend..." Iorihime slowly lowered her head and did not speak, but at this moment she was clasping her hands, eager to hear them agree to her request.

"..." Mingdou looked at Yi Zhi Ji and fell silent. He didn't know when Xia Hua met Yi Zhi Ji... Moreover, Yi Zhi Ji cared about her so much that Xia Hua didn't even mention it. she.

"No." Ashiya Chitose immediately vetoed her, "Master Iorihime is an important person in the ceremony, and you must not leave here until the ceremony is over."

"... Please! I must see her!" Naturally, Iori Hime refused to let it go. In her heart, she was full of longing to see her now—as long as she saw her, she would tell her everything. "Please... I really want to see her..."

Seeing Iorihime begging himself like this, Ashiya Chitose and Mingtou looked at each other at this moment—"Then... let her come to see you..." Ashiya Chitose took a deep breath and continued: "But this Don't tell anyone about it...Xia Hua...I'll let Ming Dou tell her, put it at the meeting place, and I'll arrange it."

"Master...Xiahua her..." Ming Dou wanted to refuse at first, but seeing Iorihime like this, he could only agree: "Then I will tell her that Iorihime-sama wants to see her..." At this moment Turning his gaze to Iori Hime, Mingdou saw her bowing her head and repeating 'thank you' repeatedly, and that voice seemed to be about to cry...

"Thank you... thank you... thank you..." Listening to her trembling voice, Ming Dou and Ashiya Chitose both thought of a question in their hearts: What is the friendship between Xia Hua and Iori Hime?
